Aren't the the one's who setup FFP. Think of It like this. Little brother will always copy big brother or put it into other terms. Monkey see, Monkey do.
Not the FFP that applies to us no, that is the Football League.

The 1st climbdown from the FL has already happened. When it was 1st muted all fines were going to be evenly spread amongst the compliant teams. Now it is all going to a charity of their choosing. It will gets watered down until it is practically unworkable

This is the public statement I want to see!
Failure to settle the fine means you are refused entry to any FL controlled division until [the season after] the fine is paid. That would be enforcing the rules!
Just to clarify that as that was never a rule. It was a proposal that needed sanctioning by the Premier League as the fines would be levied against one of their members. It would have been great if the fines went to those meeting the rules.

It does appear you haven't quite grasped the whole idea of FFP in regard to the FOOTBALL LEAGUE. A members only organisation. Those members have rules that they have to abide by. Those rules are proposed by the members, voted on and agreed by the members, passed at meetings held by the members. Penalties handed out on behalf of the MEMBERS by the management.
Really is a simple thing to understand.
The last meeting discussed the FFP situation going forwards not anything to do with the past/current rules. As there was not enough members to support any change to the current rules they remain in full force.
I'm not sure the fines will be very effective - some clubs will be happy to just pay them and get on with it - and 'charity' can cover a multitude of sins. The "Benevolent Society for Retired Football Club Directors" anyone?
We'll have to wait and see how much (if at all) the embargoes hit offending clubs. Personally, I'm not hopeful - but that's just my opinion, I'm not stating it as a fact!
The idea someone suggested of having the points deduction suspended, and applied when they get relegated to the FL again, would be brilliant - it would really seem like 'fp' if clubs coming down with enough PL parachute dosh to buy the entire first team squads of some of the other clubs in the league, had to start thirty points behind them!
